BOOSTING INNOVATION The Adriatic and Ionian region shows different levels of innovation. ADRION aims to increase synergies among universities, public bodies, business centres and enterprises for boosting research and technological development in competitive sectors of the region, such as Blue and Green Growth, energy, transport and tourism. OIS-AIR project aims to develop an Innovation Hub for the Adriatic and Ionian region which pulls together innovation centres, incubators, researchers and enterprises. The web-based platform will be designed to meet the technology and innovation needs of start‑ups, spin-offs and SMEs, increase synergies and knowledge exchange. The project will push innovation by granting 10 vouchers for research-driven transnational innovation projects. www.oisair.adrioninterreg.eu 4
The Adriatic and Ionian region has relevant unexploited potential of biomass from
agricultural, fisheries and forestry waste and residues. In this frame, BIOECO‑RDI
project will develop a Research Driven Innovation strategy on bio-economy,
boosting the integration between Green Chemistry and Agrifood cluster.
The project will support the creation of a network among regions, academia
and enterprises facilitating the transition process towards more innovative and
sustainable industrial models.
www.bioecordi.adrioninterreg.eu
Innovation can be used to meet social needs of citizens and improve the
conditions of vulnerable groups. This is the case of BEGIN project, which focuses
on the development of competences in the field of environmental protection for
less advantaged people. To do that, the project designs innovative models for the
creation and management of social start-ups addressed to the inclusion of young
job seekers, unemployed women and people with special needs.

BLUE INNOVATION: DRIVING
THE BLUE ECONOMY FORWARD
Defined by two seas, the Adriatic and Ionian
region has great potential for sustainable growth
in the marine and maritime sectors. ADRION
grants specific attention to Blue Growth and all
the activities having strong links with the sea, related
to both traditional sectors (vessels construction, logistics
and fishery) and emerging ones (biotechnology, aquaculture,
robotics, new materials and green sea mobility).
Given the sector’s vulnerabilities to climate change and the strong
competition with industrialized fisheries, ARIEL project works to
empower small-scale fishers and aquaculture farmers. To achieve
this, ARIEL plans to build synergies between SMEs and scientific
organisations in order to provide new knowledge and skills to the
operators of the sector and increase competitiveness through
brokering events. The project will set in place a network of small-
scale fishery and aquaculture actors to promote joint initiatives
and inform consumers on seafood sustainability. A Joint Research
Agenda and a Chart of Innovation Services will be developed to
address the future major challenges of the region.

BLUE_BOOST project has the ambitious goal of unlocking the potential
of maritime clusters along the shores of the Adriatic and Ionian region.
The project will launch a transnational innovation voucher scheme aimed at
granting 35 small-scale projects targeting the main sectors of the Blue growth.
The project will boost new and existing networks in order to explore possible
sectoral cross-fertilization, new ideas and alliances among the actors of the
Blue Economy.
www.blueboost.adrioninterreg.eu
To foster innovation in the maritime mobility
sector, SHIPMENTT project supports innovation
and technology transfer among SMEs, research
institutions and intermediaries working in the area of
green sea mobility. The project is designed to increase
access to finance, know-how on intellectual property
rights as well as business matchmaking opportunities
by providing smart coaching and training modules
to more than 200 SMEs. A project web-platform will
also serve as basis to connect around 50 SMEs with
academia institutions for the purpose of improving
technology performance.

FUTURE 4.0 responds to the current challenges of the manufacturing industry of the
shipyard and nautical logistic supply chain by supporting SMEs towards technology
4.0. To do that, the project will design smart learning modules and implement local
pilot actions in order to disseminate innovation as well as knowledge management
solutions in over 100 enterprises of the Blue economy. A web-platform will provide
training measures for the upskilling and re‑skilling of professional profiles in order to
enhance employability within the shipbuilding industry.

FOSTERING SUSTAINABLE TOURISM
THROUGH THE PRESERVATION OF NATURAL
AND CULTURAL HERITAGE
The Adriatic and Ionian region gave birth to the most
significant ancient civilizations which produced
an extraordinary richness in terms of cultural and natural
heritage. The ADRION Programme fosters the promotion
of practices which support sustainable tourism and
generate positive impacts on the environment.
QNeST project aims to promote and fulfil the economic potential of the
common and exceptional features of the cultural and natural heritage of the
Adriatic and Ionian area. To preserve and promote cultural heritage, QNeST will
launch a common brand for the promotion of quality sustainable tourism and
will stimulate the creation of a network of Adriatic-Ionian actors and economic
operators, active in or indirectly involved in the tourism sector.

Along the Adriatic coast lies a stunning series of hidden
caves, ADRIATICAVES project strives to dig up these
hidden treasures through ecotourism. The establishment
of a network of touristic caves from Italy to Albania will
help implement new models for sustainable tourism
management. ADRIATICAVES will also promote touristic
itineraries through a new international brand for caves
promoting sustainable tourism.

Ancient harbours can become new attractive tourist destinations. This is the aim
of APPRODI project which has identified pilot sites in Durres (Albania), Dubrovnik
(Croatia), Ortona and the lagoon archaeological park of Torcello (Italy) as ecotourism
destinations. A set of activities will also be dedicated to geo-archaeological
investigations and excavations. Awareness raising actions and thematic events
involving local communities will be implemented inviting commercial operators and
key stakeholders to promote and include them in existing touristic circuits.

10GO GREEN: COOPERATING FOR
KEEPING NATURE CONSERVATION
TO THE FOREFRONT
The Adriatic and Ionian region has an extraordinary
environmental ecosystem, extremely delicate, but
nevertheless subject to high pressures from agriculture,
industries and urbanisation that threat biodiversity and
nature conservation.
The ecosystem services in the protected areas need to be monitored and assessed
in order to preserve the quality of the ecosystem itself, as well as to ensure a
sustainable use of natural resources. IMPRECO project works to enhance the
preservation of ecosystem services by strengthening biodiversity and nature
conservation in 7 NATURA 2000 protected sites. To this end, the project will set
up a transnational network of relevant actors as well as a strategy on ecosystem
management and conservation, together with a set of innovative governing tools
by involving grassroots organisations and schools.

12JOINTLY TACKLING CHALLENGES TO
IMPROVE MOBILITY ACROSS THE REGION
The Adriatic and Ionian region transport systems suffers
from lack of integration between transport modes: ports
are not linked with airports and railways, and railways are
poorly integrated with inland waterways. Fragmentation limits
the development potential of transport. The ADRION Programme
contributes to enhance the use of environment-friendly and low-carbon
transport systems and the capacity for integrated transport and mobility
services.
ADRIPASS project aims to analyse physical and non-physical bottlenecks on the
Trans European Transport Networks (TEN-T) corridor sections of the Adriatic and
Ionian region, with a specific focus on those recently extended to the Western
Balkans and tests specific Information and Communication Technology (ICT)
solutions for streamlining freight transport in ADRION ports.
www.adripass.adrioninterreg.eu
SUPAIR project will establish a network of ADRION low-carbon ports committed
to exchange on good practices regarding soft and hard environment-friendly
solutions for a greener, safer and more efficient transport system. A common step
by step transnational methodology will serve as basis to develop 7 action plans for
sustainable and low-carbon ports, covering a broad range of fields (clean shipping,
green upgrading of port machinery, installation of emission control systems, truck
flow management).

13Ports can help to cut shipping CO2 by using Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG). In this
frame, SUPER LNG project contributes to the implementation of sustainable
transport and mobility solutions by supporting safe use of LNG, as a low carbon
clean fuel. SUPER LNG helps increase the level of safety and environmental
sustainability of maritime transportation in the Adriatic and Ionian seas.
www.superlng.adrioninterreg.eu
SMILE project is focused on first and last mile of mobility in some urban areas of the
Adrion and Ionian Region, including coastal, inland and bordering cities of different
size. Mobility models and multimodal solutions will be sought through the realisation
of mobility scenarios and the development of a transnational Sustainable Urban
Mobility Plan (SUMP) mirroring local specific situations. Citizens, commuters, tourists,
freight and bus tourism operators will test IT-Information Technology solutions
(APPs/Platforms) aimed at reducing traffic congestion, promote intermodal solutions
and improve traffic flows.
